Open accessFrom Resource to Human Being: Toward Persons Management

Summary written for this site
The manifesto article. To speak of a "human resource" is a category error with practical consequences: a person is unique, irreducible to their skills, and cannot be managed like a stock of goods. The text draws in particular on Emmanuel Mounier, Edgar Morin, Domènec Melé and Emmanuel Levinas.
Position in the trajectory
How do we stop treating human beings as resources?
Persons management as an avowed theoretical proposition, and autopraxeography named as such.
